An 8-year-old intact male Labrador retriever was referred for evaluation of chronic dermatitis marked by generalized alopecia, ulcerative nodules and plaques, and hypopigmentation of mucocutaneous junctions. The condition was tentatively diagnosed as cutaneous lymphoma based on clinical findings and cytology, and was later confirmed by histopathological examination. Although treatment was initiated with retinoids and interferons, the condition deteriorated and dog was euthanized two weeks after diagnosis.
